  知道Instagram上粉丝最多的女明星是谁吗?没错,就是赛琳娜·戈麦斯。这位身兼迪士尼童星、贾斯汀·比伯前女友、全美音乐奖最受欢迎女歌手等多重身份的人气巨星,在经历了狼疮、换肾等身体状况之后,带着她的新专辑回归啦!
  After nearly five years of patiently waiting, fans of Selena Gomez will have new music to enjoy soon! The 27-year-old US pop star recently revealed (透露) that her new album, titled Rare, came out on Jan 10. There will be 13 songs on the album, including the hits Lose You to Love Me and Look at Her Now.
  Gomez told The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that the upcoming album will be pop-focused. “I think there s always going to be a sense of strong pop in my music, but I definitely explored more with electric guitar, a lot of more soulful tracks (深情的歌曲) underneath things,” she commented.
  “It s the most honest music I ve ever made and I can t wait for you to hear my heart,” Gomez wrote online. Fans have already speculated (推测) that Lose You to Love Me is about Gomez s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. Though this may be true, Selena has more serious issues to deal with than Bieber.
  In 2015, the singer revealed that she was receiving chemotherapy (化疗) to treat her lupus (狼疮). She has been suffering from the disease for years. It affects patients  organs (器官), including the kidneys (肾) and lungs. Patients also get red rashes (红疹) on their skin. It has been a rough battle. Luckily, Gomez s best friend, actress Francia Raisa, donated a kidney to Gomez to help her recover.
  With Rare, Selena finally opens up and shares her thoughts and feelings with her fans around the world. “I m just relieved. It took me four years now to even feel at a good place with this album... So I just kept going, and I m relieved, ” she said on The Tonight Show.
  【難句解析】
  1. “It s the most honest music I ve ever made and I can t wait for you to hear my heart,” Gomez wrote online.
  释义:“这是我做过的最诚实的音乐,我迫不及待地想要你们听到我的心声,”戈麦斯在网上写道。
  点拨:I ve ever made 是现在完成时,形式为have / has done,表示过去的动作对现在的影响或者过去的动作一直持续到现在,常常和ever / never / already / yet等词连用。例如:
  —Would you like some dumplings? 你想吃些饺子吗?
  —Thanks. But I have already had dinner. 谢谢。但我已经吃过饭了。
  Mr. Green is the kindest man I have ever met. 格林先生是我遇到过的最善良的人。
  2. Though this may be true, Selena has more serious issues to deal with than Bieber.
  释义:赛琳娜有比比伯更严肃的事情要处理。
  点拨:deal with 可以表示“处理,对付,打交道”。表示“处理”时,常和how连用,而do with 在表示“处理”时常和what 连用。例如:
  Firstly, let us think about how to deal with the most important issue. 首先,让我们想想怎样处理最重要的事情。   When I worked in Florida I dealt with tourists all the time. 當我在佛罗里达州工作的时候,总是跟游客打交道。
  3. She has been suffering from the disease for years.
  释义:她已经得这个病好几年了。
  点拨:suffer做及物动词时,表示“遭受,蒙受”,后常跟pain / defeat / loss / poverty / hunger等词;做不及物动词时,常跟介词from,表示“受……折磨,受……之苦”,后常跟a headache / cancer等表示疾病的词。例如:
